Nothing to see with photos, just dark color on sand trays. I think I have Figured out that it is just one chicken, the speckled Sussex. She looks healthy and is eating well. No change in diet or environment.
It appears that two of my 16 chickens have runny stool. Im not sure who has the issue. all chickens are eating well and appear healthy. 10 of the chickens are 1 1/2 years old and 6 are 7 months old. I welcome any advice.
Thank you

I found 5 small eggs hidden in a small dugout area. 8 of my chickens are 17 weeks and 2 of them are 22 weeks. These are the first eggs I have seen. Im not sure how long they were outside. Temps here 60-high 70s some low 80's. It is safe for me to eat these eggs since I don't know how long...
